Preparation

In a bowl, combine the first nine ingredients; mix well. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to use. Save 1 cup for basting. When you are ready, pour marinade into a large plastic bag add bay leaf and tenderloin. Seal bag and turn to coat, then refrigerate overnight.
Drain and discard marinade and bay leaf. Place tenderloin on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for rare, a meat thermometer should read 140 degrees, medium, 160 degrees; well-done, 170 degrees), basting often with reserved 1 cup of marinade. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
